President Donald Trump and American evangelical Christian preacher Andrew Brunson (L) participate in a prayer in the Oval Office a day after Brunson was released from a Turkish jail, at the White House on October 13, 2018 in Washington, DC. Brunson was detained for two years in Turkey on espionage and terrorism-related charges that the pastor said were false.

President Donald Trump is not a liar. A liar is someone who occasionally tells mistruths. President Trump is a broken fire hose of lies. He’s a broken slot machine of lies. He’s a lie conveyor belt.

On Monday, the president lied again, this time in tweet-form, claiming that America was “starting to make a turn back” to a time when Bible study was big in public schools.

The Washington Post’s Mark Chancy noted, there was no such time in American history.

But besides that, Trump, who has routinely portrayed himself as a man of God, had to deal with a competing tweet from an actual man of God.

According to HuffPost, Pastor David Lewicki took to Twitter Tuesday to state that not only was he pastor of New York City’s Marble Collegiate Church for about five years where Trump was on the member rolls, he’d never seen Trump at the church. Not at Bible study, not a service. Never.

“The pastor then followed up with a pointed quote attributed to Irish political figure Edmund Burke: ‘Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to go beyond promise, it costs nothing,’” HuffPost reports..........................................

The evangelicals have already accepted Trump because of his position on abortion.

Consider that Franklin Graham considers Trump a "man of God." If that's the case, what is a "man of Satan?"

The sheeple will behave and believe as their religious leaders direct them.

In the early 1980s, my first wife and I attended Marble Collegiate Church in New York City. Although he was elderly, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was the primary minster but most of the sermons were delivered by his associate, Dr. Arthur Caliandro. On several occasions, we saw Trump there with his paramour, Marla Maples. This is when Trump was married to his first wife, Ivanka. Yeah, he's a "man of God."

Nice touch, don't you think?
